Is anyone using Mastodon as their primary social media and is it working for you?

[samueljohnson@mstdn.social]

@LianaBrooks Check my profile.

(I also don't use Facebook or Instagram or Bluesky)

[androcat@toot.cat]

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes.

[jess@blop.social]

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes.

[kinsale42@mstdn.games]

@LianaBrooks it's my primary scroller and yes it replaces twitter quite well for me. The only thing missing (the Overwatch community), I can currently get from discord as a secondary (maybe 30-40 folks max).

[kinsale42@mstdn.games]

@LianaBrooks the cats here are just as good as anywhere else

[earthshaking@mastodon.eternalaugust.com]

@LianaBrooks yes, and yeah "I guess". I still miss cohost dot org, though. That was the best place, for me.

[aoanla@hachyderm.io]

@LianaBrooks if by "primary" you mean "the one you actually post on" then yes (for micro blogging style stuff at least).

It's working very well so far.

[jonathankoren@sfba.social]

@LianaBrooks yes and yes.

I have no interest in participating on corporate controlled social media. That’s been a fool’s errand for past 20 years

[joacim@mastodon.melin.org]

@LianaBrooks
Yes.
Yes.

[beadsland@beige.party]

@LianaBrooks

Only social media. Sufficient.

[heinragas@mublog.nl]

@LianaBrooks When I left Twitter in November 2022, I got my own server and I haven't looked back since. Yes and yes.

[leor1010@mastodonsweden.se]

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes! 😊 2 years since I deleted my last other SoMe, Instagram. I have Pixelfed, but I don’t use it.

[nusquam_tuta_fides@mastodon.com.pl]

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes. Never used Facebook (yep, there are such people), ditched Instagram a couple of years ago after they deleted my account without explanation. I have to use Discord to stay in touch with my friends (as nobody have the slightest will to try fedi), but I consider it a success that I dragged them out of FB Messenger at least. I have an opinion among them of beng antisocial, nerdy, paranoid and difficult to contact. Ehh.

[realn2s@infosec.exchange]

@LianaBrooks
Yes and yes.
Coming from Twitter the security community here quickly became vibrant 😁
Loosely found other communities as well

[toxy@mastodon.acc.sunet.se]

@LianaBrooks Yes. Very much so.

[poleguy@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks yes. Yes. I said Facebook was a fad when it started and waited for this.

[julesbl@mastodon.me.uk]

@LianaBrooks
Yes and yes, not even got membership of anything else apart from WhatsApp which i need for family

[jonathan@selea.se]

@LianaBrooks Jepp

[laxsill@social.spejset.org]

@LianaBrooks Yes. Also use some other fedi systems (pixelfed, lemmy, bookwyrm) and also I keep linkedin because I love the cringe but I rarely use it at all. I invested some time and love to my mastodon feed and I've gotten it back ten times.

[fasnix@fe.disroot.org]

@LianaBrooks
Well, I started my Fediverse-journey in 2018 on Mastodon, but have since migrated to Firefish, Iceshrimp, now Akkoma and Sharkey, and pixelfed as well.

However, yes, I use the Fediverse exclusively since the end of '22.
